Nissan Details Next-Gen Leaf Rollout

Nissan will show its next-generation LEAF battery-electric sedan at eight National Drive Electric Week events following its global reveal on Sept. 5, Nissan has announced.

Nissan has released a schedule of national events where the public can view the new LEAF following the debut, including at a trio of Sept. 9 events in Seattle, San Diego, and Alpharetta, Ga.

Nissan will also show the LEAF, which is expected to be a 2018 model year vehicle, on Sept. 14 in Bridgewater, N.J., and on Sept. 16 in Portland, Ore., Los Angeles, Cupertino, Calif., and Cambridge, Mass.

The LEAF will offer several new features including semi-autonomous features such as ProPilot Assist and one-pedal driving with e-Pedal technology.

The new vehicles will annually consume approximately 36.8 million gallons of clean propane autogas, and many will be displacing fuels with higher emissions like gasoline and diesel, according to the Propane Education & Research Council.
